In 2023, make a difference in disability. At Alliance Care Support We Never Stand Still. We have been innovating and genuinely raising the standard of care for people living with disabilities for 27 years, a commitment we made as a South Australian family-owned business well before the NDIS existed. Across diverse disciplines, we employ over 450 team members in SA, and we continue to grow in a time of change. Our reputation for thinking differently about service delivery and as an employer of choice sets us apart from other service providers.
